The nights are starting to grow longer. Have you noticed? And dark nights are the perfect backdrop for candlelit dinners and baths. How apropos that we have a selection of creative and innovative candle holders, perfect for adding ambiance to both indoor and outdoor settings.

Stripes and curves. The unique Celeste Black-striped candle holder was designed for Orrefors by artist Anne Nillson. Each of the stems was drawn by hand, and is individually signed with the designer's name and the painter's initials. They are a noteworthy addition to dining room and end tables.

Polka dots. In a similar fashion, the Celeste Black Dot candle holder has feminine curves and stands just under a foot high. Although the design is distinctively modern, we feel the gentle curve, similar to a lamp stem, and the votive candle holder holds a little magic of times gone by.

Expecting a tornado? Candles come in handy when the power is out. These Tornado inspired Candlesticks have a swirling crystal pattern that seems to be in motion once the flame is lit. They are a romantic addition to your night stand, but work also as dining table center pieces. They are available in two different sizes, and though they are attractive standing alone, they look best as a set.

Whether you purchase them for your own home, or buy extra sets for friends and family this holiday season, the Orrefors innovative candle holders from Didriks add style to any home decor.
